DENK Ceramics was established last 2015 to add a wholesale business to an existing recycled furniture business. DENK products are all handmade in Germany, unique ceramic goods, sustainable and high quality with multipurpose uses.

Lingo was created while road tripping through Central America. It was simple, combine the Spanish translations I’d been collecting with the deck of cards we played daily. We could practice our Spanish while playing cards, adios phrasebook!

Graphic and surface pattern designer Olivia Henry works under the name Pixel + Thread to create unique works of art inspired by floral, bright abstracts and loose watercolours. Her products are feminine targeted homewares, textiles and stationary with original watercolour and digital designs on them.

At only 16, Poppy is the current women’s world champion for bowl skateboarding, and started the business to fund her travels. Hand drawing all the jewellery and cards, they are extremely detailed and unique.
